Chapter 139: Spending Money to Buy Authorization
At present, because of the launch of the GB handheld and the SCF Super Nintendo console, Nintendo's game business in Japan continues to be hot, but it is not without competitors.
Likes Sony and Sega are desperately pushing to launch their latest TV consoles and handhelds, and even NEC has launched the PCEngine GT portable handheld game console.
In the main battlefield of North America, which he is about to rush to, the American company Atari has released the world's first color screen handheld game console as early as two years......
The competition has already begun.
As for those game manufacturers in Japan, they are limited by Nintendo's patent barriers on some hardware, and the design of game hardware is always not ideal. One of the most typical is the patent of the D-pad, which has dragged Sony and Sega for many years.
Sega, Sony, NEC they launched a separate direction controller, that is, the controller of the up, down, left and right four point key mode, not that it can't be used, but it is not as comfortable as the club's cross key, and when playing games, you always need to lower your head to find the keys, wondering which key is pressed on?
The keys are not clear, the arrow keys are easy to press and error, and the game experience is naturally very poor.
The club cross key is different, it is a linked controller. You press the upper direction, and the lower key is naturally upturned like a seesaw, showing a state of low and high on one side, and the fingers can naturally clearly determine which key is pressed on.
And then there is the D-pad at the bottom of the disc, which is already a breakthrough for Sega, but it is not as comfortable to use as its own D-pad!
Players who are accustomed to using their own D-pads, where do they still use a detached four-key design with unclear keys and poor tactile feel, or what D-pad at the bottom of the disc should be thrown aside?
Just such a key design can lag or drag down the opponent a lot. It's a pity that it's about to be broken by this young man in front of him!
But perhaps, the cooperation in front of us is also an opportunity!
"President Arakawa, although our Rubik's Cube Wisdom is a newly established game company, we are based in China, and we are determined to promote more excellent games and bring more joy to everyone!
Yu Zixian's words are six points true, three points are blown, and one point is compliment.
At this time, Nintendo, although it is already very good, but it is not so awesome that it is to the point of heaven!
said that three points blow a compliment, Yu Zixian didn't feel anything bad!
Salted fish have dreams, let alone people?
Now that we have set foot in the game industry, we will strive to lead the wisdom of the Rubik's Cube to grow together and grow into a brilliant company like Nintendo in this world!
And for the realization of this goal, what is it to be cheeky and flattering to make the other party happy?
Seeking cooperation and achieving rapid development is the first step, and the road ahead is still long, and who asks for whom in ten years is not certain!
"Yu Jun, I appreciate your ruthlessness. Since August last year, when you got the first pot of gold from our Nintendo and established the Rubik's Cube Wisdom, it has only been more than seven months to this day, and at this time, the Rubik's Cube Wisdom is already a company with monthly sales of 3 million and annual sales of more than 40 million!
At this time, President Arakawa Ishi had already stood up, looked at Yu Zixian head-on, and spoke with a serious look of an elder, word by word, which seemed to mean a long time.
Although Yu Zixian had a calm look on his face, Arakawa Stone's sudden seriousness made Yu Zixian a little uncomfortable, and even a little nervous.
"Before, my curiosity was more about wanting to know what it was like to help Nintendo young people in the first place! Now I am beginning to admire you, and even intend to take you to North America to show you something...... But after thinking about it for a long time, maybe your path is not something I can guide you! You seem to have a kind of spirituality that other young people of the same age do not have...... Even elusive...... Luck, according to Huaxia's words, is luck. Arakawa Shi thought for a moment, and then said: "If you have the opportunity to go to Japan or the United States in the future, you can come to me, maybe we can have more in-depth communication, and even it is not impossible to be friends!"
"Forehead ......"
Arakawashi's words made Yu Zixian surprised. How can you start talking about life and friends?
"Arakawa-kun, it's an honor, I will definitely go to Japan and the Americas!"
"You can now give concrete ideas for follow-up cooperation. ”
"Thank you very much, President Arakawa. The president has seen the patent information related to our console before, and to be honest, our console is indeed inspired by your company's FC console, and even the early FC host, but we have made a lot of modifications and even improvements in order to avoid conflicts with your company's FC-related patents. Therefore, our little doctor host can successfully apply for a patent in Huaxia. And as I said before, I want to bring more joy to everyone in China, so combined with the current situation, I need to license some classic games from your company. ”
"Huaxia is a great country with a population of more than one billion, more than 200 million families, even if only one-tenth of the family can buy learning machines or game consoles, this is a market with the potential of 20 million consoles, this market prospect is huge!"
"Of course, combined with the current economic development of China, as well as people's consumption levels and consumption habits, I hope that President Arakawa can reduce the cost of game licensing. ”
"Piracy will not be eliminated forever in the world, and Huaxia is no exception, but for various reasons, this problem is relatively prominent. As long as the cost of game licensing is reduced, we will have a low enough cost to suppress the formation and expansion of the pirated cartridge industry!"
……
Seeing that Arakawa Stone didn't plan to speak, Yu Zixian said a lot by himself, "Let's go, let's go".
"Well, Yu Jun, you still want to talk about the specific content of cooperation!"
"Haha......" Yu Zixian was overjoyed in his heart, and finally the other party couldn't stand it, in fact, he couldn't stand it himself.
It feels so bad to elevate others and step on yourself!
"President Arakawa, before I talk about game licensing, I would like to talk about the patent dispute over consoles. Although our console has basically been an improved and innovative product, and has obtained domestic patents, but in order to completely solve the future patent disputes of game consoles, I hope that Rubik's Cube Wisdom and your company can sign a memorandum of authorization, we can obtain all the authorizations of FC consoles at one time, for which we are willing to spend 1 million US dollars. ”
When Arakawa Shi heard Yu Zixian say this, he was slightly happy: This is finally admitting that he has infringed on our FC's patents. But if you don't admit it, I will also talk to you carefully - although you can obtain patent authorization, as long as I have evidence, I can initiate "patent invalidation", and then it will not be so easy to talk about!
"It's okay, but the license price is too low. Let's start with the licensing of the game. ”
"As for the game licensing, I need to package the license, and all the games that Nintendo has launched on FC at present, I can pay a license price of $500,000 per year until the patent expires!"
"What's next?"
"For subsequent games, we can sign a separate licensing agreement according to our needs and the quality of different games. "Anyway, for the follow-up games, Yu Zixian can make them himself.
